/etc/init.d/drbd start or modprobe drbd should create the nodes for you. You just have to be sure drbd starts in the startup sequence before heartbeat. I'm assuming if you're using vanilla FC4 then the system is setup with devfs or udev, which means that those nodes aren't 'real' and rather a byproduct of the kernel module.
